  i will be interviewing for a position at the university of southern california.

  the pay is not going to be that good to begin with, but i have mitigating factors, my son who is a junior this year, can get in and i won't have to pay a dime towards his tuition.

  his dream is to go to usc and to play for the usc marching band.

  Have you heard of this yet?

  i just talked to my mom (dub) yesterday, which was poorly timed (after there meeting).

  she tells me that the speaker said in his talk that there are two sides in this world - jehovah's side and satan's side.

  if you are not on jehovah's side, then you are on satan's side.

  They've been saying this stuff for years and usually follow-up with some crazy example. The JW's like to top each other with their self-imposed persecution.

  Hambeak,

  I'm so sorry you are in so much pain right now. I'm not familiar with the extent of your situation, but it must be very difficult for you as it seems there are several things going on at once. Please take care of yourself!

  Shunned by an old friend

  by fullofdoubtnow in

  2. friends

  in all the years i was a jw, although i had many acquaintances, i only had 3 really close friends.

  two of them are no longer jws.

  one is trev, who is obviously a lot more than a friend to me now, and my friend marion left the wts a few months ago, with a lot of encouragement from me.. my other friend is still very much a jw, and when i was announced as no longer a jw last year, she phoned me to tell me how very upset and disappointed she was.

  Linda,

  I'm so sorry! Even though we know our old friends are required to shun us, it is still very painful when it happens.

  Who is Philip Brumley?

  by Honesty in

  2. friends

  ironic, isn't it.. http://www.freedommag.org/english/vol32i1/page14.htm.

  philip brumley, general counsel for the jehovahs witnesses, testified how the jehovahs witnesses in austria moved through the political and legal court systems for a decade towards obtaining the same religious status as other religions.

  just as they were getting to the point of obtaining this religious status, the national legislature of austria convened and passed a law which imposes a 10-year waiting period for any organization seeking full religious recognition.

  Hey everybody!

  I've really enjoyed my time here so far and thank everyone. Besides successfully killing far too many threads I've become very enlightened by all your thoughts and knowledge.

  After reading many posts, I happened to think...

  In the US, individuals under 18 can't be held liable for contracts they sign which is why a minor isn't allowed to enter into a contract. Well, has that ever been tested with respect to the JW's or would they still cry religious freedom? So if someone were to sue the JW's for DFing them, etc because they were baptized while a minor, what would happen? I realize that the cong would still warn everyone of that person being a bad associate, but there's a big difference between that and being DF'd.

  Thanks for reading and any responses.
